Slow going, as I keep finding “one more thing” that needs to be done before priming, as I hate having to redo the entire stripping and cleaning process to airbrush one part.
The plan is to go straight to Mr. Hobby Color GX-2 in place of primer. It is smooth, glossy, and tough.
I cannot get behind all the posts that say go through all levels of micro mesh sanding pads first; I find I don’t smooth anything, I add imperfections. Maybe I’m sanding too hard? If anything I’ll use a microfiber cloth after GX-2.
Pictured is my miscellaneous parts holder for painting, Resin Wheels (Love the Goodyear text!), and the Photoetch for details on cockpit canopy. We will see if I use them, but definitely not going to put it on now and attempt to mask over it.
